Orthopaedic Care Textbook

Vision

Medical professionals will find accurate and timely information, references, procedures, and medical management strategies on a convenient "one-stop-shopping" model. This interactive source of orthopaedic knowledge will combine the cohesive source base of a traditional textbook with the power of a peer-reviewed journal. This simple concept--expert summaries of topics reviewed by other experts for clarity, accuracy, and completeness--ensures that the information is timely and appropriate. All information on these pages has been reviewed by two or more independent experts in the field, whose critiques guide contributing authors' revisions.  The entire process is overseen by the Editorial Board and consultant reviewers.
